The answer is B. Internal (or in-text) citations are used to cite where you got information or ideas from/to support your own ideas with information from another source. This type of citation happens in the actual paper. It usually includes the last name of the author of the source you are citing and the page number that you're citing from. A works cited list is basically a bibliography of your sources in citation form (most commonly used format is MLA) you organize these in alphabetical order and attach it to your research paper or essay on a separate page titled "Works Cited".
